EASLEY ANNOUNCES $10 MILLION INVESTMENT FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Tire Recycling Company To Employ 70 People
RALEIGH — Gov. Mike Easley announced today that Atlantic Alliance Recycling Incorporated has chosen Montgomery County as its first United States presence, investing $10 million in the local economy. The company, headquartered in Birmingham, England produces “crumb” rubber from discarded tires and will employ 70 people within two years. Production is set to begin early next year.
“This $10 million announcement is wonderful news for the people in Montgomery County and for our state,” said Easley. “We are pleased that Atlantic Alliance Recycling has chosen North Carolina as their first U.S. presence and look forward to this company becoming a part of North Carolina’s corporate community.”
The company will be located in Troy, North Carolina on five acres in the Troy Business Center. The town of Troy has also offered 10 additional acres at no charge. The material produced at the site will be used in new-tire production as well as in playground surfaces.
“We believe that Atlantic Alliance is a perfect fit for the type of company Montgomery County is trying to attract,” says Judy Stevens, Director of the Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation. “ The investment and jobs this company brings will strengthen our county’s economic climate.” The parent company, Jack Allen Holding Company, is located in Birmingham, England.
